Hello, There are examples of changing a staff context in the manual, for example at
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/snippets/pitches#pitches-creating-custom-key-signatures Here a new staff is instantiated; with about 10 lines of "\with" to change its appearance and behaviour. However, if I wish to use several such staves, I don't want to be copying the "\with" material into each one. Is it possible to create a new context just from such a definition? What I mean is something like myStaff = staff \with { < lots of lines of definition > } so that I can simply create a new staff the way I want it with, for example \new myStaff { } All I want is an example. There is some information about defining a new context, but in my case all I want is a tweaked version of a current context. Thanks everybody, Alasdair -- Alasdair McAndrew (he/him) mob: 0432 854 858 https://numbersandshapes.net
